    SX1050 No Power

    Hi all, please forgive me if this is a topic widely discussed somewhere I can't find, but I've been doing a recap and restore of an SX1050 and all was good until I replaced the power transistors with the wrong thermal paste (it was conducive and messy). The fuse blew and I accidentally replaced...

    Yamaha RX-530 blowing fuses

    Hi everyone, I came across this forum, looking for some expertise on my broken RX-530, which I saved from my dad in order to fix it up. It's a childhood memory device for me, so I don't care too much if it's worth the effort in the end. To the problem: I found the device has its main fuse on...

    Onkyo Integra A-809 Blowing Fuses

    Hi all, I recently picked up this A-809 in unknown condition for $25. I figured for the price, it may be worth the troubleshooting project. I knew that it at least had the well known input selector issue, but it also appears to have a short somewhere. After opening I immediately saw that the...

    Pioneer SX-727 Blown Internal Fuse - what can I do?

    Hello AK, thanks for looking in. I'm having trouble identifying the cause for blowing an internal 3A fuse (# 2) in a Pioneer SX-727. I have reviewed other threads here and made some changes to my unit, but the fuse blew again while on the DBT, so I'm stuck, now. Can't measure voltages if it...

    H/K Citation 16A blowing Channel B Fuse

    Hello, I just got gifted a Harman Kardon Citation 16A and the guy I got it from said it has been partly revised 4 or 5 years ago and then worked fine but one channel kept dropping out under load so he retired it. Now I plugged it in upon receiving it today (did a visual check for leaking caps...

    Onkyo M-5030 keeps blowing

    I have an Onkyo M5030 that I recently acquired from a friend. I recapped it but when I went to turn it on it was at first stuck in protection mode and then the main fuses blew. I replaced the fuses but again they blew. I'm not sure where to begin, I'm still fairly new at diagnosing and repairing...

    Kenwood KR-720 blows 2A fuse when turned on

    Friend gave me this nice Kenwood receiver. Every time I turn the power on, the only 2A fuse on the circuit board blows instantly. (The other fuse is a 4A.) What is the likely culprit and is this worth trying to repair? Thank you DoubleA

    Bose 601 Series I Fuse Identification

    Hi, I recently picked up a pair of Bose 601 Series I. I hooked them up to test and wasn't getting any sound out of one of the speakers. I opened the top and saw a blown fuse in the crossover. I can't find any information about it online. Can someone help identify it or a substitute? I have no...

    Optonica SA-5206 A+B Right Channel Out

    Hello! This is my first post and I'm hoping to get some help troubleshooting my Optonica SA-5206. Both the A and B right channels are out. I think there's a blown fuse and I have some replacements ordered. What I'm curious about is why that fuse might have blown. I've had the receiver for 8...

    Dual 510 -- power loss?

    Hi folks. This is my first post, so hope it's in the right place. I have a Dual 510 turntable that all of a sudden won't turn on/spin when lifting the control arm. (Full disclaimer: I know basically zero about turntable repair.) Anyway, I popped the plate and cover off to investigate. I used...

    Scott 299B Blown Fuse

    Hello all! I love my Scott Amp, it sounds so good and was working perfectly for a year. A few months ago the fuse blew. It was a quick blo fuse so I tried another as I thought maybe it was a bad fuse, but same results. I let it chill for awhile. Now since I have time I thought I’d look into it...

    A little help with a H&K 730

    I have a 730 with a problem. One of the channels keeps blowing a fuse. Sometimes a new one will last a second, sometimes a week. I've taken it to a couple shops, and they will think they fixed it. They will test and everything, but within a week, it always blows the fuse again. Any ideas what...

    Where is fuse? Triode Corp trv 4se preamp

    my preamp started to light and then went blank. The manual says check fuse(s). But there is no obvious fuse. I follow the power source and see nothing except a yellow square on the power switch labeled DAIN. Is that the fuse? Any help appreciated.

    Hello Folks: My son blew my ADCOM GFA 545-II doing a "bass test". The AC input fuse is blown and I need to replace it. I saw a previous discussion on the fuse part # and checking to see if the other parts of the amp are OK before hooking everything back up.. I'm just trying to get the...

    Celestion Ditton 662 Fuse Blowing

    Hi, I recently acquired a set of Celestion Ditton 662 speakers, since the reviews on them were quite good and so was their condition. I have them paired with a mostly overhauled Sansui AU-9500, and first impressions are good, but not as great as expected. Especially considering that the cheap...

    Akai AA-1020 fuses

    A friend of mine have an Akai AA-1020 with no left channel output. We found out that blown fuse could cause that and decided to order all of them since I'm already placing an order on Mouser. However, while looking at the Service Manual, I'm not able to determine if the fuses are fast blow or...

    Grommes LJ3 help needed...

    It's been quite a few years since I played with this charming Little Jewel. I just plugged it in and when I turned it on, the 5Y3 rectifier flashed brightly and the fuse blew. A second fuse did the same. I went out and got more fuses... I pulled out the 5Y3, put in a new fuse, and turned it...

    Need help with Yamaha R9 PLEASE?

    Hi, so I know very little about repairing gear, but I'm willing to attempt a repair if anyone has an idea what may be a likely culprit for the problem that just manifested. I have the Yamaha R9, and I had speakers hooked up to A and C speaker inputs. The right output on the B speaker never...

    Pioneer SA-6700 Blowing fuses

    Got a "garage sale" SA-6700 today. Fuses blow as soon as the power is turned on. Checked the transformers, as best I could. Doesn't seem to be a dead short in either primary...around 3 ohms resistance. Then I checked the diodes (D21 thru D24) all GP-20D. All of them were open and failed the...

    2270 transformer testing

    Hey All, I began recapping my 2270 this week and ran into some trouble. This is my first time doing this. First I did the power supply, reassembled and everything was working great. Next, I replaced the power switch and tested, again, no problem. Then I did three caps on each P750 board, but...

    Speaker Causing Advent 300 Receiver to Blow Fuse???

    I connected a single speaker rated at 36W max to one channel of an Advent 300 receiver. As soon as the volume was up to 11 O'Clock, clipping started and the receiver blew a fuse. I replaced the fuse and hooked the Advent 300 to Advent speakers (OLA) and there were no problems even up to 1...
